A great piece of modern soul with a deep vocal voice and a warm band sound that resonates pleasantly.
Lee Fields' mellow vocals are the centerpiece, and the horns and organ gently accompany the calm tempo soul music, creating a quiet and tasteful album that combines a vintage feel with modern clarity.
The title track, "It Rains Love," features Lee Fields' mellow vocals delivered directly against a simple rhythm and understated chorus, setting the album's overall subdued tone. The following track, "Two Faces," features subtle guitar cutting and horn interjections creating a gentle buildup, while the rhythm section's steady groove firmly supports the song. "You're What's Needed In My Life" sees the vocals come to the forefront, with a memorable delivery that emphasizes the resonance of the words. The album doesn't rely on flashy developments, but instead relies on the unity of vocals and instrumentation, delivering a gentle soulful feel right to the end, making it a record worth listening to.
